Visit Unique Temples
:.
.
Shanghai is blessed with a number of interesting temples ideal for sprinkling some calm and culture into a day of shopping and sightseeing. Many of the temples have a long history. For instance, the monastery at the Longhua Temple dates back to the third century!.
The Jade Temple (Yufo Si) is possibly the most famous temple in Shanghai. You’ll frequently see it advertised. The meager $3 entrance fee is more than fair for a chance to wander the beautiful halls, but the temple can get busy sometimes. You can try your hand at Chinese calligraphy inside (free)..
If the notoriety of the Jade Temple puts you off, you could visit the Confucius Temple (Wen Miao) instead. You won’t bump into nearly as many tourists in the landscaped gardens there. A secondhand book swap is held every Sunday morning outside the main gate..
